Product Information

If you need help with fault diagnosis then please use the forums for assistance, it is a free service. We've got millions of parts, hundreds of brands, and thousands of step-by-step videos— everything you need to find it, fix it and finish the job right. Once this short circuit is done, it is now as safe to work on your microwave as any other appliance so long as you keep it disconnected from the power.

I was using a digital Fluke multimeter with capacitance mode - unfortunately the replacement cap that just arrived also shows nothing like the expected value, they do have an internal 1MOhm resistor across the terminals so that might be screwing up the reading? When the phase of the transformer reverses then the capacitor acts in series with the output creating the 2000 volts the magnetron needs. MO caps (Microwave Oven) have a bleeder resistor on them to slowly drain them to where they're safe to handle. You will now need to remove most of the screws along the outside of the microwave holding the cabinet or case in place.

Locate it by looking up the guide for your make and model of the microwave or look for the piece that clearly has two terminals.

With Smeg you will quite often find many of the same spare parts used by other manufacturers or brands and, using their part which is exactly the same, can offer a considerable saving on the cost or a replacement part. Built-in hobs are far more tricky as in almost all cases the model number will be on the underside of the hob meaning that anything below the hob itself has to be removed to see the model number.

He just inserted several very high value resistors in series so that if you touched the wire the current would be limited. An RF bypass is shunt (parallel) element that acts like a short circuit to microwave signals, but here it is meant to reflect RF signals by shorting them out.Tantalum is processed into very tiny spheres, which are compressed and sintered together into a sponge-like structure with mucho surface area per unit volume (the smaller and more uniform the sphere size, the more area). many years ago i went to a guy's place and he was using the HV of a microwave transformer as an animal fence. One limitation is that the sweep had to be driven externally, it did not trigger from the waveform that was being studied. Gently slide the screwdriver forward until it reaches the other terminal, holding it there for a few seconds.

e. where "real men" work), we use femtofarads (10 -15 Farads) sometimes (thanks for the correction, David!If you chose the screwdriver, lay the screwdriver tip or body so that the metal connects both terminals.
